Room-Darkening Cellular Shades

You settle down in front of the TV to watch a movie. It’s a beautiful day outside, but you’ve been looking forward to this film for a long time. The screen goes dark for a moment, and then you see it – your own reflection. And it only gets worse from there as the light streaming into your room casts shadows and reflections all over the TV.
You need blackout shades.

Undoubtedly, room-darkening cellular shades are one of the best choices. These shades feature the classic cellular style while using heavier materials that block up to 99% of the light from entering your room. That makes them ideal for your living room or media room, in addition to making them a great choice for bedrooms.
